2003 AAPM Summer School Home Direct Links

 Program Summary

The summer school on IMRT will provide an opportunity for practicing radiation oncology physicists to learn general principles of IMRT and its safe implementation in the clinic. The school will provide a forum for the participants to discuss the instrumentation and methods used for IMRT quality assurance procedures and testing. It will also provide an opportunity for institutions that have gained experience in IMRT delivery to share their early experience with other.

Experts in all aspects of IMRT planning and delivery will describe the current state-of-the-art of this modality and teach the underlying principles of IMRT to practicing medical physicists. The lecture notes will be published as school proceedings and it will serve as the most current reference on IMRT. Summer school participants will also have an opportunity to supplement didactic lecture with interactive discussion sessions each evening to enhance their learning.

 Continuing Education

MPCEC's: Medical Physics Summer School attendees will receive 34 hours of Medical Physics Continuing Education Credits. Credits will be awarded to medical physicists who participate in the program and submit the required documentation to the Program Directors.

MEDICAL DOSIMETRIST CE's: Medical Dosimetrist Summer School attendees will receive 32 hours of Medical Dosimetrists Continuing Education Credits.
